Anyone running the FSP without driveability issues?
Please post your observations. Are you experiencing any issues? Stock TB?
I like the power of the 84mm clutched pulley, but going back and fourth between my Lightning really makes the engagement feel choppy. Gotta decide on a pulley before my BIP dyno tune.
Thanks for any input.

Also interested. Seriously considering FSP. I'd also like to hear people's opinions about extra wear and tear this might put on the supercharger/engine as a whole, and how well it would be suited for a daily driver.

I've had mine on for a year and have pretty much worked out all the driveability issues. Jerry has been working on a new tune I have been testing for several weeks and it seems solid. I love the instant power and he was able to tune out the "dip" in power following a gear change while under part throttle.
The only two issues I have are the higher IATs (to be expected), and the cold start issue. That is where the car will run like absolute crap if I try to start it straight away when it is cold. the workaround is to put the ignition into position 2 for about 10 seconds, then start it up. If you forget and the car idles like crap, then you have to disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes. Don't ask how long it took to figure that out. This problem has me stumped. Super easy to get around and worth putting up with.

Thank you for the replies and all of the PM's.
It sounds like the FSP tune is still not there yet. Thanks to those who continue to help iron it out!

Yeah I'm keen on seeing how this tune pans out. If she's good to go in a few months I'll take the plunge but don't want to create extra headaches.
